As Delhi grows, the infrastructure projects like construction of roads, flyovers, metro routes generate large quantities of Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste. This increases further due to the vertical growth in the residential. The city of Delhi itself generates 4000 to 5000 Tons Per Day (TPD) of C&D waste. The unsegregated municipal waste (often mixed with the C&D waste) gets finally dumped to the various dumpsites of the cities, low lying land for a price, in public land or along the roads, ridge areas(which are city’s green lung)or river banks in an unauthorized manner. Such dumping strewn across the city chokes surface drains, disrupts traffic, pollutes water and is an eyesore on the urban landscape. It has been also reported that the dust from construction activities contributes to Particulate Matter. Combined with burning of waste and road dust, C&D waste contributes to over 20% of air pollution in Delhi.
Recycling of C&D waste is likely to ease this pressure by reuse of a major portion of the waste generated.In this context, an initiative by North DelhiMunicipal Corporation (NMC) with IL&FSEnvironment is a ray of hope shining through the blinding construction debris in the Nation’sCapital. This unique project at Burari (Jahangirpuri) is based on a Public Private Partnership (PPP) framework.
It is India’s first large scale operational C&D recycling facility. The plant is compliant with MSW, 2000Rules and was originally set up to manage 500 TPD of C&D waste. Recognizing the pollution abatement capability of the facility, Delhi PollutionControl Committee (DPCC) enhanced the project’s capacity to 2000 TPD. Currently, the facility scientifically processes 1200 TPD of C&D waste. The technology for the plant was adapted to suit the C&D waste generated in India. The wet processing technology incorporated at the Burari plant to minimize dust and noise pollution.
The facility gets mixed C&D waste from 28 designated points in 3 zones (Karolbagh, SadarPaharganj & City) of NorthCorporation. Once ta the plant, the waste is segregated into big concrete pieces, mixed C&D waste as per size and unrecyclable materials like plastic, wood etc. The wsate is crushed, washed and is recycled into aggregates, which is in turn are converted to Ready Mix Concrete (RMC), Cement bricks, hollow bricks, pavement blocks, kerb stones, concrete bricks and manufactured sand. The products have been tested in various laboratories and found to be suitable for usage in various ways. The facility uses recycled water for processing waste. The plant is able to recover and recycle about 95% of incoming C&D waste. The facility has ISO 9001, 14001, 18001 and SA 8000 (i.e; Social Accountability) certifications.
The plant has processed more than 15 lakhs tons of C&D waste since its inception in 2009. The waste would otherwise have been dumped illegally in Yamuna and other environmentally sensitive zones. Using of recycled aggregate in this process reduces the consumption of fresh stones and sand, thus conserving our Natural resources and helping in reducing sand mining. Besides helping in reducing water and air pollution, the plant reduces the burden on the landfill/dumping sites of the city and saves precious urban land.
More than 25% of the total solid waste generated in India is coming from the construction waste alone(ref. Central Pollution Control Board - CPCB) report). With the rise in air pollution related health (respiratory) problems and judicial interventions, the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) face enormous pressure. The NationalGreenTribunal has also issued notices in this regard. In light of these problems, it is vital to have replicable models like the successful C&D waste management project at Burari.
The project has provided a paradigm shift from illegal dumping to scientifically processing and recycling of C&D waste.

The theory of constraints (TOC) is a management paradigm that views any manageable system as being limited in achieving more of its goals by a very small number of constraints. There is always at least one constraint, and TOC uses a focusing process to identify the constraint and restructure the rest of the organisation around it.
Types of (internal) constraints include:
Equipment: The way equipment is currently used limits the ability of the system to produce more salable goods/services.
People: Lack of skilled people limits the system. Mental models held by people can cause behaviour that becomes a constraint.
Policy: A written or unwritten policy prevents the system from making more.

European governments have re-discovered labour migration, but are eager to be perceived as controlling unsolicited forms of migration, especially through asylum and family reunion. The emerging paradigm of managed migration combines the construction of more permissive channels for desirable and actively recruited labour migrants with ever more restrictive approaches towards asylum seekers. Non-state actors, especially employer organizations, trade unions, andhumanitarian non-governmental organisations, attempt to shape regulatory measures, but their success varies depending on organizational characteristics. Labour market interest associations' lobbying strategies regarding quantities and skill profile of labour migrants will be influenced by the respectivesystem of political economy they are embedded in. Trade unions are generally supportive of well-managed labour recruitment strategies. But migration policy-making also proceeds at the European Union (eu) level. While national actors seek to upload their national model as a blueprint for future Eu policy to avoid costly adaptation, top-down Europeanization is re-casting national regulation in important ways, notwithstanding highly divergent national regulatory philosophies. Based on field workin and analysis of primary documents from six European countries (france, Italy, United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, and Poland) this book makes an important contribution to the study of a rapidly Europeanized policy domain. Combining insights from the literature on comparative political economy,europeanization, and migration studies, the book makes important contributions to all three, while demonstrating how migration policy can be fruitfully studied by employing tools from mainstream political science, rather than treating it as a distinct subfield.

As with all previous editions of Project Management in Construction, this sixth edition focuses on systems theory as the approach suitable for organizing and managing people skilled in the design and completion of construction projects. It discusses the many competing paradigms and alternative perspectives available, for example in relation to differentiation and integration, as well as the emerging study of temporary organizations and its relevance to construction project management. Whilst encompassing the need to develop further theoretical aspects of construction project organization theory, this edition has also enhanced the application of organization studies to practical issues of construction project management. More emphasis has been placed on the added complexity of construction project management by issues surrounding clients and stakeholders, and the control and empowerment of project participants. Additional focus has been placed on sustainability issues as they impinge on construction project management, on reworked views on supply chain management and on developments in partnering, together with clarification of the shifting terms and definitions relating to construction organization structures and their uses.

Construction management

Construction Project Management (CPM) is the overall planning, coordination, and control of a project from beginning to completion. CPM is aimed at meeting a client's requirement in order to produce a functionally and financially viable project. The construction industry is composed of five sectors: residential, commercial, heavy civil, industrial, and environmental. A construction manager holds the same responsibilities and completes the same processes in each sector. All that separates a construction manager in one sector from one in another is the knowledge of the construction site. This may include different types of equipment, materials, subcontractors, and possibly locations.

The role of a contractor

A contractor is assigned to a construction project once the design has been completed by the person or is still in progress. This is done by going through a bidding process with different contractors. The contractor is selected by using one of three common selection methods: low-bid selection, best-value selection, or qualifications-based selection.

Much building waste is made up of materials such as bricks, concrete and wood damaged or unused for various reasons during construction. Observational research has shown that this can be as high as 10 to 15% of the materials that go into a building, a much higher percentage than the 2.5-5% usually assumed by quantity surveyors and the construction industry. Since considerable variability exists between construction sites, there is much opportunity for reducing this waste.

Project management

Project management is the discipline of initiating, planning, executing, controlling, and closing the work of a team to achieve specific goals and meet specific success criteria. A project is a temporary endeavor designed to produce a unique product, service or result with a defined beginning and end (usually time-constrained, and often constrained by funding or deliverables) undertaken to meet unique goals and objectives, typically to bring about beneficial change or added value. The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast with business as usual (or operations), which are repetitive, permanent, or semi-permanent functional activities to produce products or services. In practice, the management of these two systems is often quite different, and as such requires the development of distinct technical skills and management strategies.

The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals and constraints. This information is usually described in a user or project manual, which is created at the beginning of the development. The primary constraints of many things. The secondary — and more ambitious — challenge is to optimize the allocation of necessary inputs and integrate them to meet pre-defined objectives.

In the late 19th century, the term economics came to replace political economy, coinciding with the publication of an influential textbook by Alfred Marshall in 1890. Earlier, William Stanley Jevons, a proponent of mathematical methods applied to the subject, advocated economics for brevity and with the hope of the term becoming "the recognised name of a science."

Today, political economy, where it is not used as a synonym for economics, may refer to very different things, including Marxian analysis, applied public-choice approaches emanating from the Chicago school and the Virginia school, or simply the advice given by economists to the government or public on general economic policy or on specific proposals. A rapidly growing mainstream literature from the 1970s has expanded beyond the model of economic policy in which planners maximize utility of a representative individual toward examining how political forces affect the choice of economic policies, especially as to distributional conflicts and political institutions. It is available as an area of study in certain colleges and universities.

http://rswp.us/f/b00t1jptiy
As with all previous editions of Project Management in Construction, this sixth edition focuses on systems theory as the approach suitable for organizing and managing people skilled in the design and completion of construction projects. It discusses the many competing paradigms and alternative perspectives available, for example in relation to differentiation and integration, as well as the emerging study of temporary organizations and its relevance to construction project management. Whilst encompassing the need to develop further theoretical aspects of construction project organization theory, this edition has also enhanced the application of organization studies to practical issues of construction project management. More emphasis h...

This is an integrated system developed by the Construction Virtual Prototyping Laboratory (CVPL) of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The system is called Proactive Construction ManagementSystem (PCMS) and will enable a paradigm shift of the construction management practice from reactive management to Proactive Management. In addition, based on sensor technologies and 4D BIM, PCMS can minimize accident rates and total construction costs.

As Delhi grows, the infrastructure projects like construction of roads, flyovers, metro routes generate large quantities of Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste. This increases further due to the vertical growth in the residential. The city of Delhi itself generates 4000 to 5000 Tons Per Day (TPD) of C&D waste. The unsegregated municipal waste (often mixed with the C&D waste) gets finally dumped to the various dumpsites of the cities, low lying land for a price, in public land or along the roads, ridge areas(which are city’s green lung)or river banks in an unauthorized manner. Such dumping strewn across the city chokes surface drains, disrupts traffic, pollutes water and is an eyesore on the urban landscape. It has been also reported that the dust from construction activities contributes to Particulate Matter. Combined with burning of waste and road dust, C&D waste contributes to over 20% of air pollution in Delhi.
Recycling of C&D waste is likely to ease this pressure by reuse of a major portion of the waste generated.In this context, an initiative by North DelhiMunicipal Corporation (NMC) with IL&FSEnvironment is a ray of hope shining through the blinding construction debris in the Nation’sCapital. This unique project at Burari (Jahangirpuri) is based on a Public Private Partnership (PPP) framework.
It is India’s first large scale operational C&D recycling facility. The plant is compliant with MSW, 2000Rules and was originally set up to manage 500 TPD of C&D waste. Recognizing the pollution abatement capability of the facility, Delhi PollutionControl Committee (DPCC) enhanced the project’s capacity to 2000 TPD. Currently, the facility scientifically processes 1200 TPD of C&D waste. The technology for the plant was adapted to suit the C&D waste generated in India. The wet processing technology incorporated at the Burari plant to minimize dust and noise pollution.
The facility gets mixed C&D waste from 28 designated points in 3 zones (Karolbagh, SadarPaharganj & City) of NorthCorporation. Once ta the plant, the waste is segregated into big concrete pieces, mixed C&D waste as per size and unrecyclable materials like plastic, wood etc. The wsate is crushed, washed and is recycled into aggregates, which is in turn are converted to Ready Mix Concrete (RMC), Cement bricks, hollow bricks, pavement blocks, kerb stones, concrete bricks and manufactured sand. The products have been tested in various laboratories and found to be suitable for usage in various ways. The facility uses recycled water for processing waste. The plant is able to recover and recycle about 95% of incoming C&D waste. The facility has ISO 9001, 14001, 18001 and SA 8000 (i.e; Social Accountability) certifications.
The plant has processed more than 15 lakhs tons of C&D waste since its inception in 2009. The waste would otherwise have been dumped illegally in Yamuna and other environmentally sensitive zones. Using of recycled aggregate in this process reduces the consumption of fresh stones and sand, thus conserving our Natural resources and helping in reducing sand mining. Besides helping in reducing water and air pollution, the plant reduces the burden on the landfill/dumping sites of the city and saves precious urban land.
More than 25% of the total solid waste generated in India is coming from the construction waste alone(ref. Central Pollution Control Board - CPCB) report). With the rise in air pollution related health (respiratory) problems and judicial interventions, the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) face enormous pressure. The NationalGreenTribunal has also issued notices in this regard. In light of these problems, it is vital to have replicable models like the successful C&D waste management project at Burari.
The project has provided a paradigm shift from illegal dumping to scientifically processing and recycling of C&D waste.

The theory of constraints (TOC) is a management paradigm that views any manageable system as being limited in achieving more of its goals by a very small number of constraints. There is always at least one constraint, and TOC uses a focusing process to identify the constraint and restructure the rest of the organisation around it.
Types of (internal) constraints include:
Equipment: The way equipment is currently used limits the ability of the system to produce more salable goods/services.
People: Lack of skilled people limits the system. Mental models held by people can cause behaviour that becomes a constraint.
Policy: A written or unwritten policy prevents the system from making more.

European governments have re-discovered labour migration, but are eager to be perceived as controlling unsolicited forms of migration, especially through asylum and family reunion. The emerging paradigm of managed migration combines the construction of more permissive channels for desirable and actively recruited labour migrants with ever more restrictive approaches towards asylum seekers. Non-state actors, especially employer organizations, trade unions, andhumanitarian non-governmental organisations, attempt to shape regulatory measures, but their success varies depending on organizational characteristics. Labour market interest associations' lobbying strategies regarding quantities and skill profile of labour migrants will be influenced by the respectivesystem of political economy they are embedded in. Trade unions are generally supportive of well-managed labour recruitment strategies. But migration policy-making also proceeds at the European Union (eu) level. While national actors seek to upload their national model as a blueprint for future Eu policy to avoid costly adaptation, top-down Europeanization is re-casting national regulation in important ways, notwithstanding highly divergent national regulatory philosophies. Based on field workin and analysis of primary documents from six European countries (france, Italy, United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, and Poland) this book makes an important contribution to the study of a rapidly Europeanized policy domain. Combining insights from the literature on comparative political economy,europeanization, and migration studies, the book makes important contributions to all three, while demonstrating how migration policy can be fruitfully studied by employing tools from mainstream political science, rather than treating it as a distinct subfield.

It discusses the many competing paradigms and alternative perspectives available, for example in relation to differentiation and integration, as well as the emerging study of temporary organizations and its relevance to construction project management. Whilst encompassing the need to develop further theoretical aspects of construction project organization theory, this edition has also enhanced the application of organization studies to practical issues of construction project management. More emphasis has been placed on the added complexity of construction project management by issues surrounding clients and stakeholders, and the control and empowerment of project participants. Additional focus has been placed on sustainability issues as they impinge on construction project management, on reworked views on supply chain management and on developments in partnering, together with clarification of the shifting terms and definitions relating to construction organization structures and their uses.

As Delhi grows, the infrastructure projects like construction of roads, flyovers, metro routes generate large quantities of Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste. This increases further due to the vertical growth in the residential. The city of Delhi itself generates 4000 to 5000 Tons Per Day (TPD) of C&D waste. The unsegregated municipal waste (often mixed with the C&D waste) gets finally dumped to the various dumpsites of the cities, low lying land for a price, in public land or along the roads, ridge areas(which are city’s green lung)or river banks in an unauthorized manner. Such dumping strewn across the city chokes surface drains, disrupts traffic, pollutes water and is an eyesore on the urban landscape. It has been also reported that the dust from construction activities contributes to Particulate Matter. Combined with burning of waste and road dust, C&D waste contributes to over 20% of air pollution in Delhi.
Recycling of C&D waste is likely to ease this pressure by reuse of a major portion of the waste generated.In this context, an initiative by North DelhiMunicipal Corporation (NMC) with IL&FSEnvironment is a ray of hope shining through the blinding construction debris in the Nation’sCapital. This unique project at Burari (Jahangirpuri) is based on a Public Private Partnership (PPP) framework.
It is India’s first large scale operational C&D recycling facility. The plant is compliant with MSW, 2000Rules and was originally set up to manage 500 TPD of C&D waste. Recognizing the pollution abatement capability of the facility, Delhi PollutionControl Committee (DPCC) enhanced the project’s capacity to 2000 TPD. Currently, the facility scientifically processes 1200 TPD of C&D waste. The technology for the plant was adapted to suit the C&D waste generated in India. The wet processing technology incorporated at the Burari plant to minimize dust and noise pollution.
The facility gets mixed C&D waste from 28 designated points in 3 zones (Karolbagh, SadarPaharganj & City) of NorthCorporation. Once ta the plant, the waste is segregated into big concrete pieces, mixed C&D waste as per size and unrecyclable materials like plastic, wood etc. The wsate is crushed, washed and is recycled into aggregates, which is in turn are converted to Ready Mix Concrete (RMC), Cement bricks, hollow bricks, pavement blocks, kerb stones, concrete bricks and manufactured sand. The products have been tested in various laboratories and found to be suitable for usage in various ways. The facility uses recycled water for processing waste. The plant is able to recover and recycle about 95% of incoming C&D waste. The facility has ISO 9001, 14001, 18001 and SA 8000 (i.e; Social Accountability) certifications.
The plant has processed more than 15 lakhs tons of C&D waste since its inception in 2009. The waste would otherwise have been dumped illegally in Yamuna and other environmentally sensitive zones. Using of recycled aggregate in this process reduces the consumption of fresh stones and sand, thus conserving our Natural resources and helping in reducing sand mining. Besides helping in reducing water and air pollution, the plant reduces the burden on the landfill/dumping sites of the city and saves precious urban land.
More than 25% of the total solid waste generated in India is coming from the construction waste alone(ref. Central Pollution Control Board - CPCB) report). With the rise in air pollution related health (respiratory) problems and judicial interventions, the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) face enormous pressure. The NationalGreenTribunal has also issued notices in this regard. In light of these problems, it is vital to have replicable models like the successful C&D waste management project at Burari.
The project has provided a paradigm shift from illegal dumping to scientifically processing and recycling of C&D waste.

The theory of constraints (TOC) is a management paradigm that views any manageable system as being limited in achieving more of its goals by a very small number of constraints. There is always at least one constraint, and TOC uses a focusing process to identify the constraint and restructure the rest of the organisation around it.
Types of (internal) constraints include:
Equipment: The way equipment is currently used limits the ability of the system to produce more salable goods/services.
People: Lack of skilled people limits the system. Mental models held by people can cause behaviour that becomes a constraint.
Policy: A written or unwritten policy prevents the system from making more.

A new paradigm for nuclear waste management

This video originally appeared on the Ceramic Tech Today blog (www.ceramics.org/ceramictechtoday) on March 10, 2010.
JohnMarra spoke at the Materials Challenges in Energy conference in February 2010 on new and emerging approaches to the thorny issue of managing nuclear wastes, and the fundamental changes that need to be made. Concerns about nuclear wastes have plagued nuclear power operators for decades and the Obama administration’s call for building a new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants and commitments for over $8 billion in loan guarantees for the construction of two new nuclear reactors in the United States gives these concerns new meaning.

Proactive Construction Management System (雲建管）

This is an integrated system developed by the Construction Virtual Prototyping Laboratory (CVPL) of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The system is called Proactive Construction ManagementSystem (PCMS) and will enable a paradigm shift of the construction management practice from reactive management to Proactive Management. In addition, based on sensor technologies and 4D BIM, PCMS can minimize accident rates and total construction costs. For further information, please contact us at huang.ting@polyu.edu.hk, or visit www.cvptl.com.

IL&FS: Construction and Demolition Waste Management Facility, Burari

As Delhi grows, the infrastructure projects like construction of roads, flyovers, metro routes generate large quantities of Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste. This increases further due to the vertical growth in the residential. The city of Delhi itself generates 4000 to 5000 Tons Per Day (TPD) of C&D waste. The unsegregated municipal waste (often mixed with the C&D waste) gets finally dumped to the various dumpsites of the cities, low lying land for a price, in public land or along the roads, ridge areas(which are city’s green lung)or river banks in an unauthorized manner. Such dumping strewn across the city chokes surface drains, disrupts traffic, pollutes water and is an eyesore on the urban landscape. It has been also reported that the dust from construction activities contributes to Particulate Matter. Combined with burning of waste and road dust, C&D waste contributes to over 20% of air pollution in Delhi.
Recycling of C&D waste is likely to ease this pressure by reuse of a major portion of the waste generated.In this context, an initiative by North DelhiMunicipal Corporation (NMC) with IL&FSEnvironment is a ray of hope shining through the blinding construction debris in the Nation’sCapital. This unique project at Burari (Jahangirpuri) is based on a Public Private Partnership (PPP) framework.
It is India’s first large scale operational C&D recycling facility. The plant is compliant with MSW, 2000Rules and was originally set up to manage 500 TPD of C&D waste. Recognizing the pollution abatement capability of the facility, Delhi PollutionControl Committee (DPCC) enhanced the project’s capacity to 2000 TPD. Currently, the facility scientifically processes 1200 TPD of C&D waste. The technology for the plant was adapted to suit the C&D waste generated in India. The wet processing technology incorporated at the Burari plant to minimize dust and noise pollution.
The facility gets mixed C&D waste from 28 designated points in 3 zones (Karolbagh, SadarPaharganj & City) of NorthCorporation. Once ta the plant, the waste is segregated into big concrete pieces, mixed C&D waste as per size and unrecyclable materials like plastic, wood etc. The wsate is crushed, washed and is recycled into aggregates, which is in turn are converted to Ready Mix Concrete (RMC), Cement bricks, hollow bricks, pavement blocks, kerb stones, concrete bricks and manufactured sand. The products have been tested in various laboratories and found to be suitable for usage in various ways. The facility uses recycled water for processing waste. The plant is able to recover and recycle about 95% of incoming C&D waste. The facility has ISO 9001, 14001, 18001 and SA 8000 (i.e; Social Accountability) certifications.
The plant has processed more than 15 lakhs tons of C&D waste since its inception in 2009. The waste would otherwise have been dumped illegally in Yamuna and other environmentally sensitive zones. Using of recycled aggregate in this process reduces the consumption of fresh stones and sand, thus conserving our Natural resources and helping in reducing sand mining. Besides helping in reducing water and air pollution, the plant reduces the burden on the landfill/dumping sites of the city and saves precious urban land.
More than 25% of the total solid waste generated in India is coming from the construction waste alone(ref. Central Pollution Control Board - CPCB) report). With the rise in air pollution related health (respiratory) problems and judicial interventions, the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) face enormous pressure. The NationalGreenTribunal has also issued notices in this regard. In light of these problems, it is vital to have replicable models like the successful C&D waste management project at Burari.
The project has provided a paradigm shift from illegal dumping to scientifically processing and recycling of C&D waste.

Why The Project Paradigm Kills Innovation, and What To Do Instead

Projects were invented as a vehicle for managing civil engineering projects. But software has completely different characteristics from, say, a bridge. In this talk I'll explain why the use of projects causes significant dysfunction, and how to build innovative products and services at scale based on lean principles.

Theory of constraints (TOC) - explained

The theory of constraints (TOC) is a management paradigm that views any manageable system as being limited in achieving more of its goals by a very small number of constraints. There is always at least one constraint, and TOC uses a focusing process to identify the constraint and restructure the rest of the organisation around it.
Types of (internal) constraints include:
Equipment: The way equipment is currently used limits the ability of the system to produce more salable goods/services.
People: Lack of skilled people limits the system. Mental models held by people can cause behaviour that becomes a constraint.
Policy: A written or unwritten policy prevents the system from making more.

European governments have re-discovered labour migration, but are eager to be perceived as controlling unsolicited forms of migration, especially through asylum and family reunion. The emerging paradigm of managed migration combines the construction of more permissive channels for desirable and actively recruited labour migrants with ever more restrictive approaches towards asylum seekers. Non-state actors, especially employer organizations, trade unions, andhumanitarian non-governmental organisations, attempt to shape regulatory measures, but their success varies depending on organizational characteristics. Labour market interest associations' lobbying strategies regarding quantities and skill profile of labour migrants will be influenced by the respectivesystem of political economy they are embedded in. Trade unions are generally supportive of well-managed labour recruitment strategies. But migration policy-making also proceeds at the European Union (eu) level. While national actors seek to upload their national model as a blueprint for future Eu policy to avoid costly adaptation, top-down Europeanization is re-casting national regulation in important ways, notwithstanding highly divergent national regulatory philosophies. Based on field workin and analysis of primary documents from six European countries (france, Italy, United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, and Poland) this book makes an important contribution to the study of a rapidly Europeanized policy domain. Combining insights from the literature on comparative political economy,europeanization, and migration studies, the book makes important contributions to all three, while demonstrating how migration policy can be fruitfully studied by employing tools from mainstream political science, rather than treating it as a distinct subfield.

Project Management in Construction | Ebook

Get your free audio book:
http://tpon.us/k/b00t1jptiy
As with all previous editions of Project Management in Construction, this sixth edition focuses on systems theory as the approach suitable for organizing and managing people skilled in the design and completion of construction projects. It discusses the many competing paradigms and alternative perspectives available, for example in relation to differentiation and integration, as well as the emerging study of temporary organizations and its relevance to construction project management. Whilst encompassing the need to develop further theoretical aspects of construction project organization theory, this edition has also enhanced the application of organization studies to practical issues of construction project management. More emphasis has been placed on the added complexity of construction project management by issues surrounding clients and stakeholders, and the control and empowerment of project participants. Additional focus has been placed on sustainability issues as they impinge on construction project management, on reworked views on supply chain management and on developments in partnering, together with clarification of the shifting terms and definitions relating to construction organization structures and their uses.

Proactive Construction Management System (雲建管）

This is an integrated system developed by the Construction Virtual Prototyping Laboratory (CVPL) of the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. The system is called Proactive Construction ManagementSystem (PCMS) and will enable a paradigm shift of the construction management practice from reactive management to Proactive Management. In addition, based on sensor technologies and 4D BIM, PCMS can minimize accident rates and total construction costs.

IL&FS: Construction and Demolition Waste Management Facility, Burari

As Delhi grows, the infrastructure projects like construction of roads, flyovers, metro routes generate large quantities of Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste. This increases further due to the vertical growth in the residential. The city of Delhi itself generates 4000 to 5000 Tons Per Day (TPD) of C&D waste. The unsegregated municipal waste (often mixed with the C&D waste) gets finally dumped to the various dumpsites of the cities, low lying land for a price, in public land or along the roads, ridge areas(which are city’s green lung)or river banks in an unauthorized manner. Such dumping strewn across the city chokes surface drains, disrupts traffic, pollutes water and is an eyesore on the urban landscape. It has been also reported that the dust from construction activities contributes to Particulate Matter. Combined with burning of waste and road dust, C&D waste contributes to over 20% of air pollution in Delhi.
Recycling of C&D waste is likely to ease this pressure by reuse of a major portion of the waste generated.In this context, an initiative by North DelhiMunicipal Corporation (NMC) with IL&FSEnvironment is a ray of hope shining through the blinding construction debris in the Nation’sCapital. This unique project at Burari (Jahangirpuri) is based on a Public Private Partnership (PPP) framework.
It is India’s first large scale operational C&D recycling facility. The plant is compliant with MSW, 2000Rules and was originally set up to manage 500 TPD of C&D waste. Recognizing the pollution abatement capability of the facility, Delhi PollutionControl Committee (DPCC) enhanced the project’s capacity to 2000 TPD. Currently, the facility scientifically processes 1200 TPD of C&D waste. The technology for the plant was adapted to suit the C&D waste generated in India. The wet processing technology incorporated at the Burari plant to minimize dust and noise pollution.
The facility gets mixed C&D waste from 28 designated points in 3 zones (Karolbagh, SadarPaharganj & City) of NorthCorporation. Once ta the plant, the waste is segregated into big concrete pieces, mixed C&D waste as per size and unrecyclable materials like plastic, wood etc. The wsate is crushed, washed and is recycled into aggregates, which is in turn are converted to Ready Mix Concrete (RMC), Cement bricks, hollow bricks, pavement blocks, kerb stones, concrete bricks and manufactured sand. The products have been tested in various laboratories and found to be suitable for usage in various ways. The facility uses recycled water for processing waste. The plant is able to recover and recycle about 95% of incoming C&D waste. The facility has ISO 9001, 14001, 18001 and SA 8000 (i.e; Social Accountability) certifications.
The plant has processed more than 15 lakhs tons of C&D waste since its inception in 2009. The waste would otherwise have been dumped illegally in Yamuna and other environmentally sensitive zones. Using of recycled aggregate in this process reduces the consumption of fresh stones and sand, thus conserving our Natural resources and helping in reducing sand mining. Besides helping in reducing water and air pollution, the plant reduces the burden on the landfill/dumping sites of the city and saves precious urban land.
More than 25% of the total solid waste generated in India is coming from the construction waste alone(ref. Central Pollution Control Board - CPCB) report). With the rise in air pollution related health (respiratory) problems and judicial interventions, the Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) face enormous pressure. The NationalGreenTribunal has also issued notices in this regard. In light of these problems, it is vital to have replicable models like the successful C&D waste management project at Burari.
The project has provided a paradigm shift from illegal dumping to scientifically processing and recycling of C&D waste.

A new paradigm for nuclear waste management

This video originally appeared on the Ceramic Tech Today blog (www.ceramics.org/ceramictechtoday) on March 10, 2010.
JohnMarra spoke at the Materials Challenges in Energy conference in February 2010 on new and emerging approaches to the thorny issue of managing nuclear wastes, and the fundamental changes that need to be made. Concerns about nuclear wastes have plagued nuclear power operators for decades and the Obama administration’s call for building a new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants and commitments for over $8 billion in loan guarantees for the construction of two new nuclear reactors in the United States gives these concerns new meaning.

The rigid and siloed structure of Autodesk’s Revit data has been a long-time source of frustration for companies in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) space. Revit projects and family data rarely “play nice” with enterprise-wide solutions such as ERP, product lifecycle management (PLM), or even simple document management. While many AEC companies have invested heavily in enterprise solutions, it has proved difficult to seamlessly harmonize with the Revit environment.
Join PacifiCAD and the vdR Group as we introduce an exciting new approach to instilling an “intelligent parts” paradigm to liberate the value of Revit data.
What you will learn in this webinar?
● create a secure and controlled Revit data library that acts as the “single source of truth” for Revit families and types
● enrich Revit data with pricing options, documentation, specs, etc. as derived from enterprise applications
● optimize data reuse, and drive down-stream efficiencies
● gain visibility into Revit projects, changes, revision history and redlining
● dynamically produce schedules, costed BOMs, and specs against Revit projects
● drive improved BOM accuracy
● accelerate the quoting process
